XMPP with OMEMO?

XMPP with OMEMO?

[Christopher Howard]

Are there any Emacs XMPP clients out there which support OMEMO? I'd like to give up my Gajim and do my XMPP comms over Emacs, but I don't want to give up OMEMO. The only client I'm seeing on the wiki is JabberEl, which does not support encryption.

Not that I know. 

I will support programmer with $100 to whoever makes OMEMO in
jabber.el 🏆表彰

A console XMPP client such as Profanity or Poezio could bebused within
an Emacs terminal (vterm or Eat) as an interim solution.

I used to use ricrc + bitlbee + lurch (but eventually got bit by
bugs[1]). So have now shifted to purple-presage for the latter (not
XMPP) and life's good again.

Thank you for the info. Could you clarify the relationship between these different components? My understanding so far: Rcirc connects to an IRC connection, provided by bitlbee, which is connected to XMPP network. Lurch appears to be a plugin for providing OMEMO to XMPP. Does bitlbee use lurch, somehow?

Mostly right. To clarify a little, libpurple (used by bitlbee-purple)
calls lurch to do OMEMO (bitlbee is not directly connected to it).

Oh, forgot to mention that I'd used another branch of bitlbee. Details:
